Former republics in Africa

Rhodesia ( , ; ), officially the Republic of Rhodesia from 1970, was a country in Southern Africa that existed from 1965 to 1979. Rhodesia served as the de facto successor state to the British dominion of Southern Rhodesia following a unilateral declaration of independence issued by the ruling government. Throughout this fourteen-year period, Rhodesia faced internal conflict and political unrest. Following the Lancaster House Agreement in 1979, the territory returned to British political control and then subsequently gained internationally recognised independence as Zimbabwe in 1980.
